Howard Finster Rare Signed Art of Mickey Mouse In Kid’s World Print Disney REM

by

MickeyWe are delighted to be offering a rare signed print by Howard Finster (1916-2001), a popular American outsider artist and Baptist minister.  First known for his collaborative work for the rock band R.E.M, his whimsical designs and his biography are fascinating.

Titled “Howard Finster Puts Mickey Mouse In a Kid’s World“, Finster was one of many contemporary artists who were asked to design a work of art commemorating iconic Mickey Mouse.  The original work of the artists were published in a book “The Art Of Mickey Mouse.” mickey2

This print is one of approx 50 ONLY rare prints that were personally hand signed by the artist on Mickey’s foot while he was at the Walt Disney Art Gallery; not to be confused with the larger run of unsigned prints that are more readily available. 

Highest quality photo-lithograph on heavy paper. 

22″ x 24″ 

Condition is excellent with only a few small areas with very mild creases that were hard to show in photos due to the extremely detailed whimsical design that makes it nearly impossible see any issues. Take a look at the photo of the back to see the areas.

I could find only one other for sale on the internet for $2500, mint. We are offering ours at a fraction of that price. 

Finster’s works is getting more and more recognition since his death in 2001; here’s a charming example of both HIS unique vision and beloved iconic Mickey!  This and many other Disney collectibles are available in our eBay Store Connectibles.

World of James Bond LE 100 Poster Robert McGinnis Germany Roemer Museum 1998

by

James BondVery scarce original German poster designed by renowned artist Robert McGinnis. Designed for the 1998 James Bond exhibition at the Roemer und Pelizaeus Museum in Hildsheim Germany for a full visual retrospective on the “Art of James Bond.”  They asked McGinnis to design a simple poster showcasing the first 5 actors who played 007. 

Features Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and George Lazenby all wearing the classic tuxedo and holding the gun with silencers. 

Text is German language.

Rare as it was issued in a very small edition of only 100 red and 100 yellow, so ours is one of only 100 in yellow.

Condition is overall very good with only issue being it was somewhat creased in center during storage. Not mint because of this, but I show the creases in the photos so you can be aware.   Poster displays beautifully and the small creases do not significantly detract from how impressive and dramatic this poster is.

Measures 23″ x 33″, will be shipped rolled.

This, and other interesting posters can be found in our eBay store Connectibles.

Art Deco Bakelite Table Desk Lamp 1930s Catalin Skyscraper New Wiring Works

by

Art Deco LampWonderful 1930’s Art Deco skyscraper lamp with new wiring; works perfectly. I’ve seen some identified as being made by Chase but other than the number on the bottom base, I see no identification information. Cast iron base. Beautiful sleek look!

Has top finial for shade.

Overall very good condition;  single split in the bakelite on the base but that is only real imperfection and can be turned to the back.Art Deco Lamp 2

You may want to polish, but I think the bronze/brass metal has a wonderful aged patina.

Concentric rings on the bottom are so very iconic with the shape.

Measures a substantial 24″ to top of the finial fitting; lamp base alone is 14″ high x 5-1/2″ across on bottom. 

Very substantial and heavy, will be carefully shipped without a light bulb.  See this and many other unusual items in our connectibles eBay Store.
